Chapter 295: Green Dragon Jiao

With the roar of the two-winged white tiger, the entire Tianshui Forest trembled in awe.

However, at this moment, an even louder dragon roar came from the depths of the Tianshui Forest.

I saw a blue light rushing up from the reckless green forest.

In an instant, the sky above the Tianshui Forest changed, and a huge dark cloud shrouded the sky, and the dark clouds, lightning and thunder. A cyan dragon turned over the clouds and rain, and a divine dragon swung its tail, turning into a blue light and swooping towards the winged white tiger.

The sky is dark, the sand is flying, the grass and trees are broken, and a dragon and a tiger are killing and fighting together.

But this cyan dragon is named Qinglong Jiao, and it is the king of the Tianshui Forest, and the blood of the ancient divine beast Qinglong flows in his body.

The green dragon is a mythical beast in ancient myths and legends. It belongs to one of the four elephant beasts, and the four great beasts that made the demons tremble and had boundless magic power in ancient times were the green dragon, the white tiger, the vermilion bird, and the four beasts of Xuanwu. According to the theory of the five elements, the east is cyan, so the green dragon is the god of the east, also known as the "blue dragon".

The body of the green dragon resembles a long snake, the head of a unicorn, the tail of a carp, the face has a long beard, the horns resemble a deer, has five claws, and the appearance is mighty.

The Oriental Seven Houses are also known as the Canglong, the Oriental Seven Houses of the Canglong - Horn, Kang, Di, Fang, Heart, Tail, Kei, and the shape of these Seven Suku is very similar to the shape of a dragon, it can be seen from their literal meaning, the horn is the horn of the dragon, Kang is the neck, Di is the root, that is, the root of the neck, the room is the shoulder, is the wedge, the heart is the heart, the tail is the tail, and the Kei is the end of the tail. There is also the part of the dragon's heart, which some people call 'fire', which is related to the rain and rain, and because the green dragon is wood, it is also the year of Jupiter. The story of the green dragon In the era when the Five Elements Doctrine was prevalent, the story of the green dragon slowly began to circulate;

According to the five elements of yin and yang, the five elements of the green dragon match five kinds of faces to the southeast, northwest, and northwest, and each color is matched with a divine beast and a god; The green dragon, the white tiger, the vermilion bird, the Xuanwu, the four spirits of the sky, with the four directions, the king of the palace and the palace to take the law.

"Hug Puzi. "Miscellaneous Ying" quoted the "Book of Immortals" to describe the image of Taishang Laojun and said: There are twelve green dragons on the left. There are twenty-six white tigers on the right, twenty-four vermilion birds in front, and seventy-two Xuanwu in the back. Very magnificent, really majestic.

Later, the four elephants were gradually personified and given their titles. According to the "Arctic Seven Yuan Ziyan Secrets", the Qinglong is "Mengzhang Shenjun", the White Tiger is "Supervisor Shenjun", the Vermilion Bird is "Lingguang Shenjun", and the Xuanwu is "Zhiming Shenjun". Soon, the belief of Xuanwu (i.e., Zhenwu) gradually expanded, and he stood out from the four elephants and jumped to the position of "Great Emperor", and the green dragon and white tiger were included in the list of door gods. The mountain gate of the Taoist temple is specially guarded. Fan Zhineng of the Song Dynasty "Yueyang Wind and Soil" cloud: "There are two statues of gods in the Laozi Temple, which are called the green dragon and the white tiger. ”

Volume 44 of "Taishang Huang Zheng Zhaiyi" calls Qinglong Dongdou Xingjun as: "Jiaosu Tianmen Xingjun, Kangsu Tingting Xingjun, Disu Tianfu Xingjun, Fangsu Tiansi Xingjun, Antares Tianwang Xingjun, Tail Suku Tianji Xingjun, and Kei Su Tianlu Xingjun." "As for its image. "Daomen Tongjiao Must Use Collection" volume seven clouds: "The essence of the oriental dragon horn is excessive, and the clouds are depressed." Shout thunder, fly to the eight poles, travel around the world, and come to stand on my left. In addition, Taoism also uses it in alchemy terms, such as the "Cloud Ji Qixuan" volume 72 quotes the "Ancient Scriptures" The four gods of the pill are called: the green dragon. Oriental A and B wood mercury also, clear and reluctant, stirred not turbid, near undesirable, far away. The hidden changes are endless, so the dragon is also. In the era when the Five Elements Doctrine was prevalent, stories about the Green Dragon slowly began to circulate; According to the five elements of yin and yang, the five elements match the south, east, west, and northwest with five colors, and each color is matched with a divine beast and a god; The east is cyan with a dragon, the west is white with a tiger, the south is vermilion with a bird, the north is black with a martial arts, and yellow is the central positive color.

Among the gods of the four directions, according to the Classic of Mountains and Seas, "Zhurong in the south, the body of a beast and a human face, multiply two dragons." ”;“ The west is harvested, there is a snake in the left ear, and there are two dragons. ”;“ There is a sentence in the east, the body is a bird and a human face, multiplied by two

Dragon. ”;“ Northern Yujiang, black body and siblings, riding two dragons. "Anyone who is introduced to Feng Shui in the I Ching knows that the former Vermilion Bird, the back Xuanwu, the left green dragon, and the right white tiger. In fact, this is the four beasts that ordinary people say are the four positive directions of the eight trigrams of the Book of Changes, the Vermilion Bird is the separation hexagram, the Xuanwu is the Kan hexagram, the green dragon is the shock hexagram, and the white tiger is the redemption hexagram.

There is a legend of the green dragon here.

In ancient times, near Jufeng Mountain in the northern suburbs of Anqiu City, there is a huge annihilation, deep and bottomless, no matter drought or flood all year round, the blue waves are rippling, sparkling, the strange stones on the shore stand, the cliff is full of rare flowers and plants, the creeping plants fall to the water surface like a waterfall, people call this annihilation as Qinglong Lake. Legend has it that there is a huge green dragon lurking in the lake. When it comes to this green dragon, we have to start with Jufeng Mountain.

A long time ago, there were phoenixes gathering and perching on the treasure mountain of Jufeng Mountain all year round, which brought blessings to the people here. This matter was known to Qinglong, the eldest son of the Dragon King of the East China Sea. This green dragon is long and majestic, with high mana, a kind heart, and yearns for auspiciousness and happiness. Qinglong heard that this phoenix settlement, and heard that there is a beautiful lake there, so he moved, he thought, that place must be extremely beautiful, besides, with the phoenix, and then there is a dragon, it is more auspicious, if he goes to that new world to live, live, how good it would be. When he was thinking about it, one day, he suddenly heard that there were two monsters at the mouth of the Wen River east of Jufeng Mountain, one was the one-horned Jiao, which led the fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs to play lanterns and led the flood to wash away the village and farmland; One is the loach essence, which has been enlightened for thousands of years, and often opens its bloody mouth to hold the sky, blocking the sun and rain, so that the farmers have no harvest; They also acted in cahoots and sabotaged the Phoenix gathering. When Qinglong heard this, he became angry, and he came to his father and asked him to go to Jufeng Mountain. When the Dragon King of the East China Sea heard this, he was furious, his eyes widened, and he scolded his son: "I thought that I would let you inherit the throne of the Dragon King when I was old, but you, this bastard has no ambitions, and you still want to play the dragon and the phoenix!" Hearing his father say this, Qinglong shed tears aggrievedly, knelt down with a plop, and carefully explained his idea of going there to remove the evil and benefit the people. When the dragon king heard his son say that there were demons at the mouth of the Wen River, he was first surprised, and then worried: "Can you deal with the monsters at the mouth of the Wen River?" "With the martial arts taught by my father, I will definitely defeat them!" Qinglong replied. The Dragon King of the East China Sea saw that his son had made up his mind, so he had to agree.

Qinglong said goodbye to his parents, left the rough sea, and went up the Wei River to the mouth of the Wen River, where he was blocked by a unicorn and a loach spirit. The unicorn and loach spirit thought that the green dragon had come to grab their territory. Seeing that the green dragon was lonely, he was the first to provoke, and the two-way green dragon swooped down, and the green dragon was not afraid, stood up to meet him, and started a desperate struggle with the two monsters. For three days and three nights, there was no distinction between victory and defeat. The mountains and rivers have changed, and the sun and moon have no light. Qinglong's brave act of exorcising evil spirits touched Anqiu's father, and one day, an old man who was fighting firewood took advantage of the truce between the two sides to make an idea to Qinglong to use a sand and a stone to separate the two monsters to cure.

Treat loach essence first. The loach's greatest ability is to drill into the mud, and it has great power in the silt of the Wen River estuary. Lao Suo suggested to Qinglong that the loach essence should be brought to the Wen River and then get rid of it, because there is no mud at the bottom of the Wen River. It's all hard sand washed down from Xilaoyi Mountain, and the loach can't get into it, and it can't be used anymore. How do you bring it up? All fish hope that they can become dragons. It is said that when a fish drinks sake, it transforms into a dragon. So, the villagers poured Jingzhi wine into the Wen River. Sure enough, the loach spirit smelled the aroma of wine at the mouth of the river and greedily swam into the Wen River following the fragrance. The opportunity cannot be missed, and the green dragon soars into the air. Hold your horns and spread your claws. Towards the loach spirit. The loach spirit was intoxicated, and suddenly found that the sky changed suddenly, and he felt that it was not good, so he bent over and drilled underwater, but he couldn't get into the sand hard, and was caught by the green dragon. Then lock it under the gorge.

Cure the unicorn again. The horns of the unicorn are abnormally sharp, and it relies on this weapon to do bad things. The loach spirit was caught, and the unicorn lost its good looks, so he became angry and swore to fight with Qinglong and the villagers. Qinglong listened to Lao Suo's instructions. With the villagers, they climbed a nearby stone cliff called King Kong Cliff. The stone cliff wall stood thousands of miles, and the unicorn could not climb up, so it became more and more angry, so it launched a madness, and violently hit the stone cliff with its horns, wanting to knock down the stone cliff first, and then attack the green dragon and the villagers. But the rocky cliffs are sharp and hard. Not only did the one-horned Jiao not arch over the stone cliff, but its horn was knocked off by the rock, and its head suddenly burst with blood, screaming, and falling to the dust.

Qinglong defeated the monsters, removed the harm for the people, and finally came to the long-cherished Jufeng Mountain and the lake. The phoenixes shouted for joy in the mountains and in the heavens, thanking him. Since then, the phoenix has gathered in the phoenix mountains and sang harmoniously all year round; On the edge of the lake, the green dragon sows the rain on time. The people of Anqiu harvest every year, the year is auspicious, and a harmonious and happy picture of the dragon and phoenix is auspicious! Qinglong Cave is located in the east of Chengjiang Bazi, surrounded by mountains and a small mountain village, which is full of green trees. At the head of this mountain village, there is a majestic and tall mountain, on which flowers and trees are luxuriant, and it is like spring all year round. This mountain is called Qinglong Mountain. Under the shade of red flowers and green trees, there is a bottomless hole on the mountain called Qinglong Cave, and many people have been curious to drill into this hole, wanting to see what is inside, but every time they have failed. Because the hole is so deep, no one can drill to the end. A wonderful story has been passed down ever since.

A long time ago, there was no rain for dozens of miles in this village, and under the roasting of the fire-hot sun, the land was cracked, the crops dried up, and the water in the well became smaller and smaller. In the midst of hardship, the desire to survive led people to carry shrines to worship God, hoping that rain would save them from suffering. But despite their daily prayers, to no avail, not a drop of rain fell.

The sincere prayers of the people reached the Dragon Palace, but the old dragon king not only ignored them, but also ordered his dragons not to go to rain, otherwise they would be severely punished. The sound of people's prayers touched a little green dragon. So he went and begged the dragon king to let him go and rain to save the afflicted people. Xiao Qinglong's bitter pleading, the Dragon King not only did not listen, but also scolded Xiao Qinglong fiercely.

Xiao Qinglong was scolded,

Qinglong had to return to his residence in a huff, angry and anxious, angry that the Dragon King was too cruel, and anxious that there were still suffering people in the world. He thought that it was useless to ask the dragon king, and that he could only save the suffering people by risking his own death to rain, so he quietly flew to the sky, and the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, black clouds rolled, and soon heavy rain poured down. When the people in distress received this storm, their spirits were lifted and they jumped with joy, thinking that their prayers had touched the dragon king. The dry crops in the fields also cheered up, and within a few days they became lush and full of life.

But the good times didn't last long, and the matter was known to the Dragon King. After inquiring, I found out that it was Xiao Qinglong who went to the world to rain a few heavy rains, so angry that the old dragon king was furious, and angrily imprisoned Xiao Qinglong.

Since then, Xiao Qinglong has spent months in that lonely and lonely Dragon Palace. The sound of people's prayers reached the dragon palace again, the old dragon king laughed happily, and the little green dragon took advantage of the caretaker's inattention, and sneaked into the world to rain an even bigger rainstorm. This time, he was discovered by the old dragon king, so he was beaten out of the Dragon Palace, locked in a bottomless cave, and never allowed to return to the Dragon Palace. In order to commemorate the little green dragon who was implicated because of everyone, people called this tall and majestic mountain Qinglong Mountain, and called the cave where the little green dragon was imprisoned Qinglong Cave.

……

"yes, I think it's a bit weird, too. But what is interesting is that the overlord of the sect leader generation is very respectful to the old madman, and he considers himself a disciple, and his attitude is extremely respectful. The old madman was crazy, and he didn't remember that there was such an apprentice as the sect master. Zi Yuerong covered her mouth and smiled: "In the end, the old madman reluctantly recognized this apprentice. ”

"Haha, that's funny, either the head of the sect leader is pumped, then the head of the old madman is pumped. But with the protection of such a living treasure master and a powerful senior brother, I don't have to worry about Ke'er. Chen Feng was also happy, and suddenly his heart moved, and he faintly felt that something was wrong, "By the way, I've been talking about it for so long, what about Ling'er, why didn't you see Ling'er?" She didn't come to the Heavenly Martial Realm either? ”

Zi Yuerong sighed slightly, and there was a trace of hesitation and unbearability in her beautiful eyes. I can't bear to see myself sad, hesitating to say it, or trying to hide it.

"Well, Ling'er is still on Peach Blossom Island, and the environment in the Tianwu Realm is harsh, so ......"

Chen Feng had a hint of foreboding in his heart, and concluded that Rong'er was lying, Rong'er's heart would not lie at all, and from her dodgy eyes, Chen Feng could see at a glance that Rong'er was lying.

"Rong'er, tell me the truth." Chen Feng stared at Zi Yuerong.

Zi Yuerong also knew that she couldn't hide it at all.

"Sister Ling'er, she ...... She's gone. Ziyue Rong's beautiful eyes looked at Chen Feng worriedly.

As soon as the words fell,

Like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Chen Feng's whole person was stunned all of a sudden, as if his heart was blocked by something, so uncomfortable and uncomfortable. (To be continued......)
